<p>The way I understand it, I have a next to nil chance here, wondering what y'all think.</p>

<p>GPA 3.6
SATs
Verbal 690
Math 660
Writing 720</p>

<p>ECs</p>

<p>Varsity Football, Varsity Track and Field, Spanish Club (representative), Spanish Honor Society, Literary Magazine (editor), Writing Club, Book club, Large amount of Community Service 100 hours by graduation, Honor Council, Take every AP English, Spanish and History courses open to me, on advanced/honors track for math and sciences. Also found out a couple of weeks ago that I'm getting a poem published in an anthology, planning on submitting more of my things. High school's quite competitive. As far as geographical residence, as my name implies, I am indeed from Georgia.</p>

<p>So what do you think? Thanks</p>

<p>gpa and test scores are kind of low, but it's always worth a shot</p>

3

<p>updated SAT is 1370. still only worth a shot?</p>

4

<p>if it was worth a shot before....and your scores went up...then yes, it's still worth a shot</p>

5

<p>I was just questioning the implication of "worth a shot." As in "hell, why not?" It had a connotation of only near eligibility, and I wondered as to the current state of that thought. Thought I made that relatively clear with "only," my mistake.</p>

6

<p>it's always only near eligibility</p>

7

<p>You've been a tremendous asset.</p>

8

<p>apply-passion, persistance, and the resistance to fail will make you a success</p>

<p>The university says its average SAT is around 1430, but Princeton Review and US News place the midpont of thir 25th-75th %ile at around 1390 - hard to tell which is more accurate.</p>

10

<p>probably the lower one</p>

11

<p>what school will you be applying to, as that makes a huge difference</p>

12

<p>average and median are too completely different things, unless the distribution is normal... median is a better indicator of accepted students pool... most schools report average, because a few perfect scores can raise the average by a lot...</p>

13

<p>And if schools report the 25-75 of their accepted students, it can be different from the 25-75 of their entering class. At a school like Georgetown where many applicants are also applying to Ivies and may choose them if accepted, Georgetown may have a lot of accepted 1500-1600s who don't become part of their entering class.</p>

<p>just the typical CAS</p>
